Buffalo Launches Second Video Surveillance NAS solution

Buffalo Technology announced its LinkStation 420 NVR (LS420DS).

After the TeraStation 5200 NVR, this is the second series of optimised products designed for Axis network cameras. The LinkStation 420 NVR with Axis network cameras enables management of IP surveillance, making this device good companion for small/home offices, multiple branch locations and demanding homes.

This LS420DS offers an end-to-end SOHO and prosumer surveillance solution, featuring Axis’ One-Click camera and NAS configuration for surveillance network deployment in 20 minutes or less. The AXIS Camera Companion communicates with the NAS , sets up users and configures the cameras to connect to the NAS. As a result, the installer never has to log into the NAS device or the camera to have a fully functioning surveillance network up and running in minutes.

Populated with two WD Red HDDs, the LinkStation NVR offers a scalable solution allowing months of continuous 24×7 recording and the ability to add cameras at any time. The LS420DS offers a scalable solution for smaller business, enabling users to install up to 8 Axis network cameras, whereas the TS5200DS, made for SMEs, allows up to 16 Axis network cameras.

The LS420DS also provides 512MB of fast DDR3 memory. Available in 2TB and 4TB, this device has data transfer rates of 480Mb/s USB 2.0. In addition to this, the LS420DS supports Axis network camera compatible iOS and Android mobile apps for playback viewing – anytime, anywhere.

Klaas de Vos, COO, Buffalo, said: “This LinkStation NVR is ideal for small businesses who are looking for an easy to use product, seamless installation and deployment of a reliable, all-in-one IP surveillance network with high storage capacity. Installers can also save eight hours or more when setting up the device due to the pre-configured RAID mirroring. Therefore it takes just a few minutes.“
